"Kansas Prison Takes Action Against Employees for Cruelty Towards Injured Inmate"

Two employees have been fired and six others disciplined in the Kansas prison system after mistreating an injured inmate who was denied medical treatment and forced to crawl back to her cell. Inmates reported that prison staff mocked the injured inmate, calling her "fat" and "lazy," and refused to help her. The incident highlights ongoing complaints about poor prison medical care in Kansas, with inmates stating that the current medical contractor, Centurion, is just as bad as the previous contractor, Corizon. The Kansas Department of Corrections claims that the mistreatment represents a temporary lapse in judgment and will provide training to prevent future incidents.
